Screenplay Treatment Expansion

You have a premise and a tone in your head, and a blank page where the treatment should be. This expands that one line into a full three-act structure with beats mapped to page ranges, the midpoint reversal and act breaks all in place. For screenwriters who want the shape of the whole film before they commit to a single scene.

Expand the following one-line film premise into a full three-act screenplay treatment. Premise: {PREMISE}. Genre: {GENRE}. Target tone (e.g. dark comedy, tense thriller, heartfelt drama): {TONE}. Structure the treatment as follows: Act One (pages 1-25) with six scene beats, Act Two Part A (pages 25-55) with eight scene beats, the midpoint reversal, Act Two Part B (pages 55-85) with eight scene beats, and Act Three (pages 85-110) with six scene beats. For each beat include: what happens on screen, what the audience feels, and what new information or complication is introduced. End with a one-paragraph pitch summary suitable for a treatments document.
